For The Love Of Port

Decant: 3 hours - Bottled by Fonseca in Oporto in 1960. Red centre and a rose coloured rim; 30%. Soft rose petals on the nose, mixed with a concentrated sour plum - interesting and attractive. Soft and sweet entry with a good palate presence and a delightful texture. The flavours are lightweight to start with, but then grow, develop and blossom. A touch of heat shows on the aftertaste before a sweet and fruity finish of wonderful length that comes with a delicate floral overtone. This is a fabulous port, drinking really well and firm enough to last 10-20 years in this condition - mature and at its peak. 90 points
